I figure the eggs are gonna be bad. The female is super stressed after a cold trip to Maine. She is jumpy and I don't wanna disturb her. What she I do and how long should i wait to go see them. I have the eggs in my incubator just in case! I hope they live as they are very stressed out. They are HUGE!

any suggestions?

Get the female warmed and back into her normal enclosure and pretty much leave her alone in a quiet place in the house. Wait a few days and offer food but keep a small dish of water in her cage so she can drink when she wants to. I would also keep her separate from other geckos as well (if you normally house them in groups). Once settled in again, she should be fine.

As for the eggs, they should have a good chance to hatch, so keep incubating them till they either hatch or obviously go bad.

I have found no problem with people offering food the next night. Also, I would highly recommend keeping her seperate from other geckos for 3 months. I do that with all new animals.

she laid in the shipping box? if so, you need a lot of luck for them...why an incubator? they incubate well at room temp 70-78 in a mixture of 2 parts perilite or vermiculite to 1 part water by weight
good luck

Yea I live in Maine and I am used to colder temps so I keep my house around 65 degrees. I have the incubator (hovabator) set at around 75 degrees. I think the eggs got moved and turned in the box so I dont think they are gonna hatch.
